Size Guide
How To Measure Your Wrist
Every Cadence bracelet is made to the wrist size you select. Finding it takes about 30 seconds.
How it works: measure his wrist and order that size. Then choose Exact for a bracelet made to that size, or Loose to add 0.5" of room.
1. Print the Cadence Wrist Sizer
The most accurate way to measure. Download the Cadence Wrist Sizer (PDF).
- Print on full-size letter paper (8.5" x 11"). In your printer settings, set page scaling to None or 100%.
- Check the 2-inch sample line on the page with a ruler. If it doesn't measure exactly 2 inches, adjust your printer settings and print again.
- Cut out the sizer band, cut the slit along the dotted line, and slip the pointed end through it with the numbers facing out.
- Slide it onto the wrist and pull until it fits comfortably. The number at the opening is his wrist size. Order that size.
2. Measure with a tape or string
- Wrap a soft tape measure, string or strip of paper around the wrist, as close to the base of the hand as possible, where a watch sits.
- Keep it snug against the skin, not tight.
- Mark where the end meets, then lay it flat against a ruler and measure in inches.
- Order that size. Measured between sizes? Round up to the next size.
3. Measure his watch
Best for gifts, and he never has to know. Unbuckle the strap he wears most and measure from the buckle pin to the hole he uses, including the watch case. For a metal band, lay it closed and flat and measure the inside length.
His watch already fits the way he likes, so order that size with an Exact fit.
4. Not sure? Make an informed guess
Most men wear 7.5" to 8". If you can't measure, choose 7.75" with a Loose fit. A bracelet with a little extra room can still be worn; one that's too small can't.
| His build | Usual size |
|---|---|
| Slim, wears a small watch | 7" to 7.25" |
| Average | 7.5" to 7.75" |
| Broad, athletic or works with his hands | 8" to 8.5" |
Choose Your Fit
| Fit | Bracelet length | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Exact | The size you select (7.5" Exact = 7.5") |
A close fit that stays in place, worn alone or under a shirt cuff |
| Loose | The size you select + 0.5" (1.3 cm) (7.5" Loose = 8") |
A relaxed drape, stacking beside a watch or other bracelets, or a gift when you're guessing |
Common questions
He's between two sizes. Choose the larger size, or the smaller size with a Loose fit.
Will he wear it next to a watch? Choose Loose so the beads don't press against the watch case.
